KENZIE, at 10 years old, was used in our rent-a-womb program, bred to the beautiful bay black Grazing Hills Ephraim, and produced a beautiful medium fawn cria, Rosie. Thanks and congrats to David and Lauren for selecting one of our best girls! Kenzie delivered this cria in June 2016--her first baby girl and first colored cria. She has also produced Dirk and McTavish, our finest fleeced white boys.

2016 EPD RESULTS:AFD, value —.289 meaning her cria should have a finer fleece...

BOOK 2 girls or more and take 20% off! Usual stud fee is $1250.2017 histogram just in and this boy is absolutely amazing! 16.7 micron, 4.2 SD, 24.8 CV, 98.8% comfort factor, with a curve of 63.8 at NINE years! Do you think that might mean lingering fineness?

Out of curiosity, I did a search on OpenHerd of white proven 1/2 Accoyo Peruvian studs, 2 to 9 years old in the U.S. 42 white studs came up with stud fees ranging from $200 to $3500. The interesting thing is that of those 42 studs, only 6 had a recent histogram from 2016 or 2017. Most had no histogram info or a very dated histogram several years old. There were NO STUDS with recent histograms that had a micron under 21. This piqued my interest so I did a search on Alpaca Nation and pulled up 67 white studs, 6-10 years.Of those, only 6 had a recent histogram (2016-17). Why is that, do you suppose? Of those, the best was a 5-year-old with an 18.3 micron (very presentable!) There were Crescent Moon and Snowmass progeny and even an Aga Khan son and most had no recent histogram.The fact that Dirk is 9 years with a 16.7 micron is rather phenomenal!
